Let the Tournament of the Apocalypse Begin! – Stonemaier Games

Let the Tournament of the Apocalypse Begin!

Okay, let me explain what’s happening here:

There is a fully-fleshed out world in the game of Euphoria. It is a world that has emerged from some huge, tragic event.

The thing is, the event hasn’t happened yet in our time (2013). That’s where you come in. You get to decide the apocalypse that causes the world of Euphoria to exist.

16 somewhat outlandish apocalyptic scenarios rise. All but 1 will fall. That final scenario will inspire the creation of several new recruit cards that will go in every copy of the game. They themselves won’t be outlandish–they will fit the tone of the game.

So let’s begin with today’s matchups. These will remain live until the end of the first round (about 4 days)–you can see the full bracket here.

  4. … a marine mammal, from space, *in a bipedal walker environment suit*, to boot. Alas, still no cigar.

  5. No donnie, the clever bit about the name Space Marine Mammal is that it means a marine mammal, from space.

  6. […] each other head-to-head via backer survey until only one remains. By the time you publish this, you should be able to see some of those scenarios–which one are you rooting […]

  7. @Felix Don’t you mean Space Marine© Dolphins?
    I’m totally ready for that Robot Takeover, BTW.

  8. When I think of robot takeover, I’m more reminded of the old “Paranoia” RPG. “The computer is your friend.”

  9. Man, I wanted to say “Space Marine Mammal” for Apocalypse World (!), See the Sea Dracula Kickstarter recently. And it fits so well! And now it’s The Simpsons?! (Shakes fist in outrage)

  10. @SuperG ack! you can not so openly discuss “The Biggest Secret” and Anunnaki unless you wish to call down the wrath of the Reptoid upon you! (or perhaps call up since they are underground dwellers). And they told me a Masters in Comparative Religion with a focus on Millennial cults would never pay off…

  11. Interesting guesses, but not quite. Think TV. A TV show that could have bipedal dolphins on it.

  12. I will take a wild stab that it is NOT the Fish People from the old Dr Who episode “The Underwater Menace.”
